FOUNDATION  OF  THE  DEPARTMENT  OF 
ENGINEERING 


The  Department  of  Engineering  of  the  Johns  Hopkins 
University  was  opened  for  the  instruction  of  students  in 
October,  1913.  Provision  is  now  made  for  graduate  and 
for  undergraduate  instruction  in  Civil,  Electrical  and 
Mechanical  Engineering. 

The  establishment  of  the  Department  of  Engineering 
was  made  possible  by  the  passage  of  an  Act  of  the  Gen- 
eral Assembly  of  the  State  of  Maryland  in  its  session  of 
1912.  The  preamble  of  the  Act  quotes  the  Declaration 
of  Rights  of  the  State  as  follows : “ the  Legislature  ought 
to  encourage  the  diffusion  of  knowledge  and  virtue,  the  ex- 
tension of  a judicious  system  of  general  education,  the  pro- 
motion of  literature,  the  arts,  sciences,  agriculture,  com- 
merce and  manufactures,  and  the  general  amelioration  of 
the  condition  of  the  people.”  The  Act  further  states  that 
its  purpose  is  the  extension  to  the  people  of  this  State 
of  opportunities,  facilities  and  advantages  for  education 
in  applied  science  and  advanced  technology  not  available 
to  them  at  present. 

The  Act  provides  a liberal  appropriation  for  the  erec- 
tion of  buildings  and  the  purchase  of  equipment,  and  a 
continuing  annual  appropriation,  available  to  the  Univer- 
sity each  year. 

In  conformity  with  the  purpose  and  provisions  of  the 
Act  the  University  offers  a number  of  scholarships  grant- 
ing free  tuition  to  residents  of  the  State  of  Maryland. 
(See  page  15).

Graduate  Courses 


GENERAL  PLAN  OE  INSTRUCTION 

The  academic  year  will  extend  from  October  1st  to 
about  the  middle  of  June,  in  conformity  with  the  usual 
schedule  of  the  University.  Certain  courses  in  the  under- 
graduate curriculum  will  also  he  conducted  in  the  summer 
months. 

The  undergraduate  curriculum  will  include  Mathe- 
matics, Physics,  Chemistry,  and  other  subjects,  as  already 
provided  in  the  College  of  Arts  and  Sciences  of  the  Uni- 
versity. These  courses  will  be  conducted  in  the  present 
class  rooms  and  laboratories. 

Both  graduate  and  undergraduate  professional  courses 
will  be  conducted  in  the  new  laboratories  at  Homewood. 
These  laboratories,  designed  after  careful  study,  will  pro- 
vide every  accommodation  and  facility  for  professional 
instruction.  Their  equipment  also  has  been  chosen  with 
particular  reference  to  advanced  study  and  experimental 
research.  The  first  of  the  buildings  of  the  laboratory 
group  will  be  ready  for  occupancy  in  October,  1914. 

Graduate  Courses  in  Engineering 

The  graduate  courses  will  offer  advanced  professional 
instruction.  The  progress  of  the  several  branches  of  En- 
gineering will  be  followed  in  the  current  literature.  Fit- 
ness for  independent  study  and  investigation  will  be  de- 
veloped by  seminary  methods  and  in  the  laboratory. 
Special  opportunities  will  be  offered  for  research  and  for 
experiment  in  the  solution  of  engineering  problems. 
Effort  will  be  made  to  maintain  intimate  contact  with 
public  corporations  and  municipal  and  State  departments, 
and  with  others  engaged  in  engineering  enterprise,  with 
the  purpose  of  studying  their  problems  and  so  aiding  in 
the  scientific  progress  of  the  methods  of  Engineering. 


Undergraduate  Courses

The  graduate  work  will  be  inspired  by  the  same  ideals, 
traditions  and  purposes  which  have  enabled  the  University 
to  assume  its  present  position  in  other  fields  of  graduate 
activity. 

The  University  has  always  offered,  as  a part  of  its  regu- 
lar curriculum,  a number  of  courses  which  aim  to  present 
the  most  recent  advances  in  the  several  sciences  from  the 
point  of  view  of  theory  in  its  bearing  on  industrial  appli- 
cations and  public  needs.  Among  the  more  important  of 
these  courses  may  be  mentioned  Bacteriology  and  Public 
Hygiene,  Chemistry,  Applied  Geology,  Physics  and  Ap- 
plied Electricity.  Details  are  given  in  the  University 
Register.  Through  the  close  relationship  between  these 
courses  and  the  graduate  work  in  Engineering,  exceptional 
opportunities  will  be  offered  for  specialized  professional 
instruction  and  investigation. 

The  encouragement  of  individual  initiative  and  inde- 
pendent study  in  the  graduate  courses  will  constitute  es- 
pecially valuable  training  for  those  who  desire  to  become 
teachers  of  engineering  subjects. 

Detailed  statements  regarding  graduate  instruction 
will  be  furnished  on  application.  Correspondence  is  es- 
pecially invited  as  to  the  facilities  which  may  be  offered  for 
the  investigation  of  special  problems  in  the  fields  of  Civil, 
Electrical  and  Mechanical  Engineering. 

Undergraduate  Courses  in  Engineering 

The  undergraduate  courses  will  aim  to  give  the  student 
a thorough  training  in  the  principles  of  the  several 
branches  of  Engineering,  and  an  introduction  to  the  meth- 
ods of  practice.  Particular  emphasis  will  be  laid  upon 
the  fundamental  and  cultural  studies,  the  entire  first  and 
second  years  being  devoted  to  these  subjects.  In  the 
later  years  these  studies  will  be  combined  with  profes- 


10 


Undergraduate  Courses 


aional  subjects  in  such  amount  as  will  give  the  graduate  a 
training  and  equipment  enabling  him  to  take  intelligent 
and  increasingly  responsible  part  in  engineering  under- 
takings. Particular  effort  will  be  made  to  impart  a thor- 
ough grounding  in  the  central  principles  of  the  several 
branches  of  Engineering,  the  greater  portion  of  the  time 
being  devoted  to  this  purpose.  The  further  study  of  spe- 
cial applications  will  be  assigned  to  the  graduate  years. 

The  course  of  undergraduate  instruction  will  continue 
through  four  years;  during  the  first  three  years  the  pro- 
gram of  studies  in  all  three  branches  will  be  the  same. 
The  fundamental  studies  of  the  first  two  years  will  be  con- 
ducted with  the  aid  of  the  Faculty  of  the  College  of  Arts 
and  Sciences.  In  the  third  year  a course  in  the  elements 
of  each  of  the  branches, — Civil,  Electrical  and  Mechanical 
Engineering, — must  be  followed  by  all  the  students.  E ree- 
hand  drawing  will  be  taught  in  the  first  year  and  mechan- 
ical and  engineering  drawing  will  continue  through  all 
four  years.  Specialized  professional  instruction  will  be 
confined  in  the  undergraduate  course  to  the  fourth  year. 
In  this  year  two  professional  courses  in  each  of  the 
branches  of  Engineering — each  extending  through  the  en- 
tire year — will  be  offered.  The  student  may  thus  choose 
at  the  beginning  of  the  fourth  year  the  branch  of  Engin- 
eering which  he  wishes  to  follow.  The  fourth  year  also 
offers  opportunity  for  one  elective  course. 

In  addition  to  recitations  and  personal  conferences,  prac- 
tical work  in  the  laboratory,  demonstrations,  and  the  study 
of  existing  engineering  installations  will  be  prominent 
features  of  the  methods  of  instruction. 

In  the  year  1914-1915  the  professional  study  and  ex- 
perimental work  of  the  undergraduate  courses  will  be  fol- 
lowed in  the  new  laboratories  at  Homewood. 

The  arrangement  of  studies  in  the  four  undergraduate 
years  is  shown  in  the  following  tabulation:

APPENDIX 


THE  TECHNICAL  SCHOOL  BILL 

At  the  session  of  the  General  Assembly  of  Maryland, 
January,  1912,  the  Department  of  Engineering  was  es- 
tablished by  the  passage  of  the  following  Bill,  approved  by 
the  Governor,  April  4,  1912  : 

Laws  of  Maryland 
January  Session,  1912,  Chapter  90. 

An  Act  providing  for  the  establishment  of  scholarships  in  applied 
science  or  advanced  technology  available  to  the  residents  of  this 
State;  appropriating  to  the  Johns  Hopkins  University  for  this  pur- 
pose the  sum  of  six  hundred  thousand  dollars,  and  also  the  annual 
sum  of  fifty  thousand  dollars;  and  providing  also  a bond  issue  for 
said  appropriation  of  six  hundred  thousand  dollars. 

Whereas,  it  is  declared,  in  Article  43  of  the  Declaration  of  Rights 
of  this  State,  that  “ the  Legislature  ought  to  encourage  the  diffusion 
of  knowledge  and  virtue,  the  extension  of  a judicious  system  of 
general  education,  the  promotion  of  literature,  the  arts,  sciences, 
agriculture,  commerce  and  manufactures,  and  the  general  ameliora- 
tion of  the  condition  of  the  people  ” ; and 

Whereas,  in  furtherance  of  the  principle  so  declared  it  is  deemed 
advisable  to  extend  to  the  people  of  this  State  the  opportunities  and 
facilities  for  education  in  applied  sciences  and  advanced  technology, 
and  free  tuition  in  said  courses  of  study  by  adequate  provision  for 
scholarships  for  said  purposes;  and 

Whereas,  by  resolution  of  the  House  of  Delegates  and  the  Senate, 
special  committees  were  appointed  to  confer  with  the  Trustees  of 
The  Johns  Hopkins  University  for  the  purpose  of  determining  the 
advisability  of  establishing  at  the  University  a school  or  depart- 
ment of  applied  science  and  advanced  technology,  and  of  providing 
for  free  scholarships  in  the  courses  of  study  pursued  therein;  and 
said  committees  have  favorably  reported  the  plan  therefor  embodied 
in  this  Bill;  Therefore, 

Section  1.  Be  it  enacted  by  the  General  Assembly  of  Maryland 
that  the  sum  of  six  hundred  thousand  dollars  is  hereby  appro- 

18

priated  to  the  Johns  Hopkins  University;  to  be  paid  to  said  Uni- 
versity on  the  first  day  of  November,  1912,  or  as  soon  thereafter 
as  the  proceeds  from  the  sale  of  the  bonds  authorized  by  Section 
6 of  this  Act  shall  have  been  received  by  the  State. 

Section  2.  And  be  it  further  enacted,  that  there  is  hereby  appro- 
priated to  The  Johns  Hopkins  University  the  annual  sum  of  fifty 
thousand  dollars,  and  that  the  Treasurer  of  this  State  be  and  he  is 
hereby  authorized  and  directed,  upon  the  Warrant  of  the  Comptroller, 
to  pay  to  the  Johns  Hopkins  University  the  sum  of  fifty  thousand 
dollars  annually,  accounting  from  January  1st,  1913. 

Section  3.  And  be  it  further  enacted,  in  order  to  better  subserve 
the  interests  of  this  State,  and  to  offer  advantages  to  the  young  men 
of  the  counties  and  of  Baltimore  City  not  otherwise  available  to 
them  at  present,  the  said  The  Johns  Hopkins  University,  in  con- 
sideration of  said  appropriations  made  by  the  foregoing  Sections  1 
and  2,  shall  establish  one  hundred  and  twenty-nine  ( 129 ) scholar- 
ships entitling  the  holders  to  free  tuition  in  said  department  of 
applied  science  or  advanced  technology,  or  in  the  courses  prepara- 
tory thereto,  which  scholarships  shall  be  open  to  the  worthy  young 
men  of  this  State  as  hereafter  set  forth. 

Section  4.  And  be  it  further  enacted,  that  said  scholarships  shall 
be  apportioned  or  allotted  as  follows: 

First:  There  is  hereby  apportioned  to  the  residents  of  each  of 
the  counties  of  this  State  and  of  each  of  the  Legislative  Districts 
of  the  City  of  Baltimore  a number  of  said  scholarships  equal  to  the 
representation  in  or  number  of  Delegates  which  such  County  or 
District  may  be  entitled  to  elect  to  the  House  of  Delegates  at  the 
time  of  the  passage  of  this  Act.  Six  scholarships,  or  scholarships 
at  large,  shall  be  open  to  the  residents  of  this  State,  without  refer- 
ence to  the  County  or  Legislative  District  in  which  they  may  reside. 

Only  such  deserving  young  men,  whose  residence  in  such  County 
or  District  shall  be  bona  fide,  and  whose  means  are  such  that  they 
are  unable  to  procure  such  technical  education  unless  free  tuition 
is  granted  them,  shall  be  eligible  for  appointment  to  such  scholar- 
ships. Whenever  any  vacancy  shall  occur  in  the  scholarships 
allotted  to  the  residents  of  any  County  or  Legislative  District,  such 
fact  shall  be  advertised  by  the  University  in  a newspaper  published 
in  such  County  or  City,  and  due  notice  given  of  the  date,  time  and 
place  of  the  examination  for  said  scholarships.  The  list  of  candi- 
dates who  pass  the  examination  shall  be  prepared  and  published  and 
their  relative  standing  or  order  of  merit  given. 

Notice  of  any  vacancy  in  the  scholarships  at  large  shall  be  given

Baltimore,  and  the  names  of  the  qualified  candidates  and  the  order 
of  their  standing  or  merit  shall  be  similarly  published. 


20 


Act  of  Legislature 


None  of  the  scholarships  provided  for  by  this  Section  First  shall, 
however,  be  awarded  by  the  University  to  any  candidate  therefor, 
unless  the  Senator  from  the  County  or  Legislative  District  in  which 
such  applicant  resides  certifies  that  his  residence  in  such  County 
or  District  is  bona  fide  and  that  his  financial  circumstances  are 
such  that  he  is  unable  to  procure  such  education  without  free  tui- 
tion as  above  provided. 

Whenever  there  are  several  applicants  for  the  same  scholarship  all 
eligible  under  the  foregoing  requirements  and  all  certified  as  eli- 
gible by  the  Senator  from  the  County  or  District  as  above  provided, 
that  then  the  award  of  the  scholarship  by  the  University  shall  not 
be  based  on  the  standing  or  order  of  merit  alone,  but  the  merit  and 
financial  circumstances  shall  be  considered  together  for  the  purpose 
of  selecting  the  most  deserving  of  said  applicants: 

Second:  Three  of  said  scholarships  are  apportioned  or  allotted 
to  graduates  of  each  of  the  following  colleges:  Loyola  College, 
Maryland  Agricultural  College,  Mount  St.  Mary’s  College,  Rock  Hill 
College,  St.  John’s  College,  Washington  College,  Western  Maryland 
College 

The  award  of  scholarships  to  the  graduates  of  said  Colleges  shall  be 
made  without  regard  to  the  ability  of  the  applicant  to  pay  tuition 
fees,  and  such  award  shall  be  determined  solely  by  the  scholastic 
standing  and  merit  of  the  applicant  as  determined  and  certified 
by  the  president  or  other  executive  officer  of  the  college  of  which 
he  may  be  a graduate. 

Third:  The  original  and  subsequent  awards  of  scholarships  shall 
be  so  arranged,  so  far  as  their  number  and  the  duration  of  the 
courses  of  the  study  permit,  that  substantially  the  same  number  of 
original  awards  as  distinguished  from  renewals  or  reappointments 
shall  be  made  each  year,  and  so  that  such  residents  of  said  Counties 
or  Legislative  Districts  and  graduates  of  said  Colleges  may  at  all 
times  hold  the  number  of  such  scholarships  to  which  they  are  en- 
titled, and  so  that  the  total  number  of  such  scholarships  so  held  at 
one  time  may  as  nearly  as  possible  be  equal  to,  but  shall  not  exceed, 
one  hundred  and  twenty-nine  scholarships. 

Fourth:  The  holder  of  any  scholarship  hereby  provided  for  shall 
be  entitled  to  free  tuition  in  any  one  of  the  courses  in  applied 
science  or  advanced  technology,  or  the  courses  preparatory  thereto, 
which  may  be  from  time  to  time  established  and  defined  by  the 
University.  Appointments  to  scholarships  shall  be  made  for  one 
scholastic  year,  but  the  holder  of  any  such  scholarship  who  may 
in  character,  industry  and  ability  conform  to  the  standards  and 
requirements  of  the  University  shall  be  entitled  to  reappointment 
or  renewal  of  the  award  at  the  expiration  of  each  year  until  the 


Act  of  Legislature 


21 


selected  course  of  study  shall  have  been  completed;  the  holder  of 
any  scholarship  hereby  provided  for  shall  be  subject  to  no  expense 
for  laboratory  fees,  library  dues,  the  purchase  or  use  of  books  or 
supplies,  matriculation  and  graduation  fees  or  any  expenses  as  a 
student  at  said  institution. 

Nothing  herein  contained  shall  in  any  way  impair  or  affect  the 
control  by  said  University  of  its  operation  and  of  any  of  the  studies 
pursued  therein,  or  impair  or  in  any  way  affect  the  power  to  fix 
the  standards  of  scholarship  required  for  admission  to  the  University 
or  for  the  continued  prosecution  of  studies  therein,  or  the  examina- 
tion or  other  method  of  ascertaining  or  determining  such  fitness  in 
scholarship  or  otherwise,  or  the  power  to  maintain,  prescribe  and 
enforce  the  discipline,  rules  and  regulations  of  the  University. 

Fifth:  No  distinction  shall  be  made  as  to  the  rights  and  privi- 
leges or  duties  and  obligations  between  the  holders  of  said  free 
scholarships  and  students  who  may  pay  the  regular  tuition.  The 
holders  of  said  scholarships  shall  have  the  same  right  in  the  selec- 
tion of  any  of  the  established  courses  of  study  in  applied  science 
or  advanced  technology,  or  courses  preparatory  thereto,  and  the 
same  privileges,  facilities  and  service  in  the  pursuit  of  said  studies 
while  in  attendance  at  said  University,  and  shall  be  equally  sub- 
ject to  the  same  requirements  as  to  scholarship,  character  and  indus- 
try, and  to  the  same  rules  and  regulations  now  or  hereafter  estab- 
lished by  the  University  both  at  the  time  of  and  in  respect  of  the  ad- 
mission to  such  courses  and  during  the  course  of  study  and  the 
prosecution  thereof  as  the  students  who  pay  the  regular  tuition 
fee;  provided  that  one  of  the  scholarships  herein  provided  for  or 
allotted  to  each  of  the  counties  and  each  of  the  Legislative  Districts 
of  Baltimore  City  shall  be  known  as  a “Full  Senatorial  Scholarship” 
and  the  holder  thereof  shall  be  furnished  or  supplied  by  the  said 
Johns  Hopkins  University  with  board,  lodging,  heat  and  light,  free 
of  expense,  or  in  lieu  thereof,  at  the  election  of  the  said  University,

torial Scholarships”  the  financial  ability  of  the  applicant,  his  par- 
ents, or  those  upon  whom  he  depends  for  support  shall  be  taken 
into  consideration.

especially  adapted  for  the  pursuit  of  said  studies  in  applied  science 
and  advanced  technology,  said  The  Johns  Hopkins  University  shall

City  of  Baltimore,  that  the  entrance  requirements  to  the  technical 
course  or  courses  preparatory  thereto  at  the  Johns  Hopkins  Uni- 
versity shall  begin  where  the  graduating  requirements  of  the  ap- 
proved high  schools  of  this  State  leave  off,  or  of  the  Baltimore  Poly- 
technic Institute,  and  it  is  further  provided  that  the  officials  of 
Johns  Hopkins  University  shall  report  to  the  Board  of  Public  Works 
in  detail  as  to  the  expenditure  of  the  appropriation  of  $600,000  pro- 
vided for  in  this  Act. 

Section  6.  And  be  it  enacted,  for  the  purpose  of  providing  funds 
for  the  payment  of  said  sum  of  six  hundred  thousand  dollars,  a loan 
is  hereby  created,  to  be  called  the  Technical  School  Loan  of  1912, 
to  the  amount  of  six  hundred  thousand  dollars.  Said  loan  shall  bear 
date  September  1st,  1912,  shall  be  payable  as  to  principal  fifteen

of  March  and  the  first  day  of  September  in  each  year;  such  portion 
of  said  bonds  or  certificates  shall  be  registered  and  such  portion  shall

at  such  date  prior  to  September  20,  1912,  and  at  such  place  or  places 
as  may  be  named  in  said  advertisement,  to  receive  bids  for  bonds 
or  certificates  of  indebtedness  issued  under  the  provisions  of  this 
Act,  under  such  regulation  as  may  be  made  in  the  discretion  of  the 
Governor,  Comptroller  of  the  Treasury  and  Treasurer,  or  a majority 
of  them,  and  the  accrued  interest  between  the  date  of  the  bonds 
or  certificates  and  the  time  of  sale  and  delivery  of  and  payment  for 
said  bonds  or  certificates  shall  be  adjusted  with  the  purchaser 
thereof  under  such  regulations  as  may  be  made  in  the  discretion  of 
the  Governor,  Comptroller  of  the  Treasury  or  Treasurer,  or  a ma- 
jority of  them;  and  upon  the  day  mentioned  in  said  advertisement 
as  the  day  for  opening  the  bids  for  the  proposals  thereby  called  for,

shall  be  awarded  by  the  Governor,  Comptroller  of  the  Treasury  and 
Treasurer,  or  a majority  of  them,  to  the  highest  responsible  bidder 
or  bidder  therefor  for  cash,  if  the  prices  bid  are  adequate,  in  the 
judgment  of  the  Governor,  Comptroller  and  Treasurer  or  a majority 
of  them;  and  when  two  or  more  bidders  have  made  the  same  bid, 
and  such  bid  is  the  highest  and  the  bonds  or  certificates  so  bid
